Hi B_tsolakis check out rsr100 project build he has managed to get 235s under his but its a bloody tight fit, but possible.I think that most people go 205.

I don't think you will get any bigger than 205's under the rear without mods. My 17x7's are 4mm fromm the leaves and if I lowered it they would be only a few mm inside the lip of the rear guard. By rolling and slightly stretching the guards you might get a 215mm in. Unfortunately it comes down to trial and error. Get a 7" wide rim and see what tyre you can get on it. You can legally go 25mm over rim width but go even bigger if it'll fit.

hey shoota what offset you running?

Shoota_77 Posted on: 2011/8/20 13:42
I have never actually measured them. I'll check it tomorrow. They're perfect for the rear. Now that I have coilovers another 10mm negative offset would be even better for the front.

Yea im the same as Shoota, i have 15inch skyline chasers and cant fit bigger than 205's. But it all depends on the rims and off set.

I have got 215 x 13's all round on 6" minilite copies.
Tight fit on back but no issues. Just depends on wheel offset you get
Cheers

i have got 13 x 8 with +3 offset but i have also got 185/65 tires stretched on and they sit about 20mm out of the guard but dont rub as i havent gone low enough for that to happen yet

also if you want to try and work it out a bit better you can use this website first as it gives the changes in how far out the rim will poke and how much diff the inset will be as well to the current wheel details
